Steven Erikson Quote: “You cannot be remade unless you are first broken.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The failing was that it was so easily won, and therefore became a thing of little worth for the recipient. Could no one see the hurt she felt, each and every time she was cast aside, sorely used, battered by rejection? Did they think she welcomed such feelings, the crushing despond of seeing the paucity of her worth?”
Steven Erikson Quote: “It seems, captain, that as her power grows, her tolerance diminishes. They are like lodestones, pushing each other away. Does power not grant immunity? Does power not strengthen the armour; does power not find assurance in itself? Can it be that those who hold the most power also know the greatest fear?”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The creature spun, tumbling, then twisted round to face its attacker, rage blazing in its skull.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The past is a demon that not even death can shake.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Instead, we fell inside ourselves, ever deeper, that endless eating and spitting out and eating all we spat out – this is the seductive sustenance of hatred and spite, of rage and vengeance.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “He had let age take hold of him, as if ennui was an old man’s final gift to himself – the blessed embrace of indifference in the guise of wisdom.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The end of the world is announced with a kind word.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Guilt is the first weed we pluck, to keep the garden pretty and smelling sweet.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “I was once told that dreams are worthy things,” said Emancipor, “even if they end up in misery and unending horror.” “Ah, and who told you that?” He shrugged. “My wife.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “I hear Seven Cities natives grow fruit just so they can eat the larvae in them.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The air swirled into darkness around Paran. He blinked, saw the trees of the estate garden rising before him.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Heed the lesson there, son.” “What lesson?” “Every decision you make can change the world. The best life is the one the gods don’t notice. You want to live free, boy, live quietly.” “I want to be a soldier. A hero.” “You’ll grow out of it.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Soldiers have no imagination, meaning they’re capable of vast surprises.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “To know and to understand that we must all die, Trull Sengar, is not to worship death. To know and to understand is itself magic, for it made us stand tall.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Not that freedom ensured happiness. Indeed, to be free was to live in absence. Of responsibilities, of loyalties, of the pressures that expectation imposed.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “It is the legacy of most intelligent beings to revel in slaughter for a time,’ Haut replied. ‘In this we play at being gods. In this, we lie to ourselves with delusions of omnipotence. There is but one measure to the wisdom of a people, and that is the staying hand. Fail in restraint and murder thrives in your eyes, and all your claims to civilization ring hollow.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Why not worship money? At least its rewards are obvious and immediate. But no, that was simplistic. Letherii worship was more subtle, its ethics bound to those traits and habits that well served the acquisition of wealth. Diligence, discipline, hard work, optimism, the personalization of glory. And the corresponding evils: sloth, despair and the anonymity of failure. The world was brutal enough to winnow one from the other and leave no room for doubt or mealy equivocation.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “I will answer in kind. No act is final. Another inevitably awaits.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Then we’re dead all that much sooner. So it goes.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Oh, what a miserable man you are! If you’re wrong and he tries to bite me, I will be very upset with you, Mok. I will lay waste to your loins. I will make your eyes crossed so that everyone who looks at you and your silly mask will not be able to help but laugh. And I will think of other things, too, I assure you.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “To love in absence is to float on ever still waters. No sudden currents, no treacherous tides, no possibility of drowning.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “How many of us bow before a god in the desperate hope that we can somehow shape our fate? Praying to that familiar face pushes away our terror of the unknown – the unknown being the future. Who knows, maybe these Tiste Andii are the only ones among us all who see the truth, the truth being oblivion.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Bloodflies rode her drawn gasps into her mouth, biting as she gagged and spat.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “When it is all one can do to simply hold on, then to suffer is to weather a deluge no god can ease.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “To draw a weapon is to announce an end to uncertainty.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Do you truly believe suicide belongs solely to the one taking his or her own life? All that rot about selfishness and self-hatred? The lies we tell ourselves to absolve us of all blame, of all the roles that we played in that wretched death?”
Steven Erikson Quote: “You’ll not have me, Lord, because you can’t.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “People who make up their minds about something never listen to advice – especially when it’s to the contrary.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “And somehow they would be less than human then. The game the mind must play to unleash destruction.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Hands were such extraordinary tools, she mused. Tools, weapons, clumsy and deft, numb and tactile. Among tribal hunters, they could speak, a flurry of gestures eloquent in silence. But they could not taste. Could not hear. Could not weep. For all that, they killed so easily.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “They didn’t shelter their own, didn’t feed their own, didn’t heal their own, and yet, in the midst of all this inhumanity, they held themselves as the pinnacle of human civilization.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “And in the city on all sides, the howling of the Hounds rose in an ear-shattering, soul-flailing crescendo. The Lord of Death had arrived, to walk the streets in the City of Blue Fire.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Fanaticism was so popular. There had to be a reason for that, didn’t there? Some vast reward to the end of thinking, some great bliss to the blessing of idiocy.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “A savage awareness seemed to ride the spinning sand, reaching relentlessly past the folds of their telaban, a thousand abrasive fingers clawing paths across their skin. Loose cloth and rope ends spiked upward, whipping with urgent rhythm. The roar filled the air, filled their skulls.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “While the innocent yearned to lose their innocence, those who had already done so in turn envied the innocent, and knew grief in what they had lost. Between the two, no exchange of truths was possible.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “He argued that every certainty is an empty throne. That those who knew but one path would come to worship it, even as it led to a cliff’s edge. He argued, and in the silence of that ghost’s indifference to his words he came to realize that he himself spoke – fierce with heat – from the foot of an empty throne.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “They are human, after all, and it is human nature to transform loss into a virtue. So that it might be lived with, so that it might be justified.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The drunk answers every assault with smirking equanimity,’ observed Haut, pouring his cup full again. ‘All reasoned words thud like pebbles in the sand. Made immune, I imbibe the nectar of the gods.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Absence of doubt? No, nothing so egotistic as that. Nimander has plenty of doubts, so many that he’s lost his fear of them. He accepts them as easily as anything else. Is that the secret? Is that the very definition of greatness?”
Steven Erikson Quote: “So you ain’t nearly as good as you think you are. What a shock. Look at your clothes and armour – you’re chopped to pieces, O mighty assassin.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Autumn rains drumming overhead, they had squatted in a half-circle, facing north, and watched as seven robed and hooded figures approached.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Skintick could not find himself in that future. He did not expect to complete this journey. He was not sure he even wanted to.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Memory did not let go; it remained the net dragged in one’s wake, with all sorts of strange things snarled in the knotted strands.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “The historian, now witness, stumbling in the illusion that he will survive. Long enough to set the details down on parchment in the frail belief that truth is a worthwhile cause. That the tale will become a lesson heeded. Frail belief? Outright lie, a delusion of the worst sort. The lesson of history is that no one learns.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Opposite the Half-Axe was the narrow-fronted entrance to a shop devoted to short lengths of rope and wooden poles a man and a half high. Tehol had no idea how such a specialized enterprise could survive, especially in this unravelled, truncated market, yet its door had remained open for almost six centuries, locked up each night by a short length of rope and a wooden pole.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Kneels? Falters? Look to the night sky, foolish man, and gauge the victor in the contest between Dark and Light.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “When those dreams in that unreachable future suddenly rise up around you, how can you not be blinded to their truths? All at once, it is here. All at once, you are living in its very midst. Why then must you seek to pull away? He.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Is possession a virtue? Is a lifetime of working for some rich toad a virtue? Is loyal employment in some merchant house a virtue? Loyal to what? To whom? Oh, have they paid for that loyalty with a hundred docks a week? Like any other commodity? But then, which version is truer – the virtue of self-serving acquisitiveness or the virtue of loyalty to one’s employer? Are.”
Steven Erikson Quote: “Secrets have power so long as they remain secrets.”
